[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][G][Dm][G][Am]
[Dm][G][Dm][G][Am]
[Dm]
[G][Dm]
I [G]don't

[Verse 1]
[Am]care how old you are,
or how young you are.
I don't care [Dm]if you're married, single,
[G]div[Dm]orced, engaged, or shacking,
[G]you[Am] gotta straighten out
something every now and then.
But I want you to think about all [Dm]the times
that you've [G]heard somebody [Dm]say,
let's straighten [G]it out.
[Am]Think about it.
And I guarantee you that most of the time,
it was a man who [Dm]said it.
Now the reason why I say that is,
well, [G]let's face [Am]it.
Most of the time,
it's a man
who makes you crooked in the first place.
Ah, we don't [Dm]mean no harm,
that's just the way [G]we are.
[Dm]Sometimes we do have a tendency
to [G]sort of take it [Am]for granted,
don't we? Always acting like we don't understand some things.
But [Dm]I believe a woman feels
[G]things deep[Dm]er than a man.
[G]I don't care w[Am]hat nobody says.
I believe a woman loves stronger
than a [Dm]man.
Because you see,
sometimes [G]we [Dm]just don't seem to unde[G]rstand.[Am]
I know because, you see,
I'm speaking [Dm]from experience.
[G]Cau[Dm]se I came home one day,
[G]and[Am] my woman was just
going all around the house,
[G]not having [Dm]very much to say,
and [G]I was kind of [Dm]puzzled,
I didn't know what to do,
[G]so I l[Am]ooked her straight in the eye
and I said, sit yourself down
girl and [Dm]talk [G]to me,
[Dm]and tell me what's o[G]n [Am]your mind
Don't you keep on telling me
[Dm]everything's [G]okay
[Dm]Cause if it wasn't,
you [G]wouldn't [Am]be glad[G][Am]
You've been tossing and turning
in your [Dm]sleep lately, [G]baby
[Dm]Sittin' around, poutin' [G]all day [Am]long
Now how the hell you expect
me to [Dm]understand[G]
[Dm]When I don't even know[G]
what's [Am]wrong
Let's [Dm]straighten it [G]out[Dm]
Baby, [G]let's [Am]straighten it out, honey,
let's [Dm]straighten it out,
[G]let's [Dm]stra[G]ight[Am]en it out.
Well, the last nine nights started
when we [Dm]went [G]to bed
[Dm]Oh, and I could tell something
[G]just wasn't [Am]right
When you turned your back to me
[C]and you [Dm]covered [G]your head
[Dm]Oh, you didn't even [G]say [Am]goodnight
If you're tired
and [G]you don't want [Dm]to be bothered, baby,
[G]Jus[Dm]t say the word and I'll
[G]leave [Am]you alone.
Instead of laying there
crying [C]your [Dm]eyes out, baby,
[G]You[Dm] and me ought to
be get[G]ting [Am]it on.
Let's [Dm]straighten it out, [G]baby,[Dm]
[G]I s[Am]aid straighten it out, honey
[Dm]Let's straighten it out,
[G]I w[Dm]anna [G]st[Am]raighten it out
I [Dm]said straighten it out, [G]baby, [Dm]baby,
baby, let's [Am]straighten it [G]out
[Am]Honey, honey, honey,[G]
[Dm]I wanna straighten [G]it out
[Dm]All night long, baby,
[G]let's [Am]straighten it out
Now how the hell do you expect
me to [Dm]understand,
[G]when [Dm]I don't even
[C]know what's [Am]wrong?
Baby, baby, baby, baby,
[Dm]just blame it on
That's all I wanna do baby,
[G]is just [Am]blame it on
You
